my friends got ek4 and he lowered it 2inch all around looks nice,

plus if they are brand new spings u are putting in when driving in time it settles in and sags down a bit so it will sit a bit lower as well 2inch and a bit keep that it mind ..

2inch all around, nuff said. it will sag to 2 and quarter afterwards when it's all settled.
some people lower 2 and a quarter. then all regrets due to it sagging to 2.5, ive got mates that have did this to most their cars. well as me and jamezy recommend, 2inch all around and wait till it settles nuff said!

:thumbsup:

And if there good springs or not. High quality springs wont sag at all, there free length, loaded length and spring rate will remain constant for its life, unless it is structually dammaged in its use somehow.

Good quality springs like this are much harder to find than springs that sag, hense why pretty much everyone assumes that it is a normal and acceptable thing for a spring to do.

Springs that sag are bad for performance, which im not going to get into unless somone really wants to know why. Its nothing to serious at all for a street car, more if your after the best possible performance.

Ive been testing my eibach springs, and my cars still at the exact same height is was the very first time i lowered my car off the jack, with the new springs:thumbsup:

the ones on xtc_romeo's are the pedders ones. forget the part number.
but yeah

not too shabby.. aslong as ur exhaust dont hang to low you'll clear the humps with abit of snake action
lol

on the stock ek4 rims u wont find ANY scrubbing at all.. esp with 195/50/15 i got same tyres.

my car is on its ass atm.. and it gets into most car parks ok.. lol just abit of scrapage on the ehxaust thats about it. but i have the luxury of changing the height
hahaha
